Port Daniel Cement Plant

Port Daniel Cement Plant is a cement plant in Canada with a reported capacity of 3,100,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by St Marys Cement Inc (Canada). By capacity it ranks #1 of 15 cement plants tracked in Canada. It emits about 1,275,488 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 297,317 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 14% above the median cement plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1895352.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 3,100,000 t of cement, Port Daniel Cement Plant é bem acima de a mediana de cement plant em Canada (1,200,000 t of cement). Seu CO₂ por unidade de capacidade é aproximadamente 5% acima de a mediana de cement plant. Subsetor: cement. Como cement plant, requer calor de processo intenso (tipicamente 800–1400°C) para suas operações industriais centrais — calor que deve ser fornecido por caldeiras, fornos ou combustão direta, e as perdas através de vasos e tubulações não isolados representam combustível desperdiçado. O isolamento modular removível pode reduzir essas perdas em 80–96%, esfriando superfícies a ≤45°C, com payback geralmente inferior a 2 anos. As cimenteiras aquecem calcário a 1.400°C em fornos rotativos — um dos processos industriais mais quentes — e devem controlar a temperatura com precisão em todo o comprimento do forno.
